March Wind Sails Over Ice of Frozen Lake

March Wind

Dried, pale leaves of beech,

like scraps of worn fabric,

torn from branches in streams

of strong March wind,

jet through open space

into empty vernal air.

Meltwater on frozen lake

forms pools that mirror

shimmer of setting sun,

as seasons flip from frigid winter

into warm, sweet spring.

Birds at dawn announce this

transition with renewed trills.
